Eva's birthday started off with posing with some pumpkins.
It's been a little cold here lately so Eva was sporting the tights.
We then went for a family walk to get some Gorditas. Our favourite breakfast food here in Mexico.
Eva's loving the bean and cheese Gorditas.
On our way back home after a delicious breakfast.
Look at all the loot. Eva was very excited.
Eva's new tea set.
She loved her Little Mermaid card.
This shirt was a HUGE winner. Thanks to Aunt Carolynne and Uncle Brian.
For people interested in photography: I know this is Eva's Birthday post but I have to make a camera announcement. I've been struggling to get really crisp images. I'm sure a large part of it is operator error but I've been noticing that when I use my center focus point some of the other points are starting to faintly light up. This is not good. Or maybe this is great news because now I can justify my new camera purchase. After some thinking about moving to Nikon I'm going stick with Canon. (Mostly due to ergonomics, the D700 just didn't feel right in my hand) What should I buy? 7D, 5D, 5Dmark2....
Back to the gift opening. I realize this image is blurry but it's awesome. Eva was SO excited to open her last present and find this Koala bear inside...Check out the next couple of shots. So much emotion, so much joy...
Eva with her other favourite gift. Her new backpack...with wheels.
Eva talking to Grandma on the phone.
Eva's friend Xochi came over yesterday and brought her this Barbie/Ken set.
Cake time.
Then it was time to go Trick or Treating.
Xochi, Eva, Lorenzo (Eva's classmate and our neighbour) and Micah.
The kids and me trying some terrible off camera flash work. Gong. At least the kids are cute.
Eva riding her broom into the night.
What a great day and night. We were all exhausted by the time the day ended. I put the kids to bed at 8pm and fell asleep alongside Micah. Dana was waiting for me in the living room to come back after I put the kids to bed. I never made an appearance. I was done at 8pm just like Eva and Micah.
